PUBLIC NOTICE
(Pursuant to County Ordinance 348, Section 19.404.B)
Dear Resident,
New Cingular Wireless PCS, LLC d/b/a AT&T Mobility (“AT&T”) is proposing to install a small cell wireless telecommunications
facility on a replacement streetlight pole located near 1780 Jamboree Rd. The small cell will serve residents and businesses in
this portion of the community. Small cells are low-power, low-profile wireless communications facilities that improve signal
quality and capacity within AT&T’s existing wireless network. The proposed small cell facility will help AT&T provide and improve
critical wireless services in this area.
AT&T estimates that since introduction of the iPhone in 2007, mobile data usage has increased 470,000% on its network. AT&T
forecasts its customers’ growing demand for mobile data services to continue. Customer needs require AT&T to design and
maintain its network to provide and improve wireless signal quality and to increase data rates sufficient to stream video. Areas
that do not meet this minimal standard, or where wireless service is otherwise compromised, represent service issues that must
be addressed.
Specifically, this proposed small cell facility will help improve AT&T’s wireless services by offloading network traffic carried by
existing macro facilities in the area. In addition, faster data rates allow customers to get on and off the network quickly, which
produces more efficient use of AT&T’s limited spectrum. By placing the small cell facility in areas where AT&T’s existing wireless
telecommunications facilities are constrained and where AT&T experiences especially high network traffic, AT&T can address the
existing and forecasted demand and support 5G speeds in the near future.
Improving signal quality and Increasing data speed is critical to providing the mobile experience customers demand and to
manage the unprecedented increase in mobile data usage on AT&T’s network. The Center for Disease Control and Prevention
(CDC) tracks the rates at which American households are shifting from landlines to wireless telecommunications. According to
the CDC’s latest Wireless Substitution Report, more than 70 percent of Americans rely exclusively or primarily on wireless
communications in their homes.1 In addition, the FCC estimates that 70 percent of all 911 calls are made from wireless devices.2
And with AT&T’s selection by FirstNet as the wireless service provider to build and manage the nationwide first responder wireless
network, each new or modified facility will help strengthen first responder communications.
AT&T selected the proposed facility as the best available means to address its service objectives in this portion of Riverside
County. The overall site location and design will comply with applicable code provisions, General Plan, and other published siting
guidelines. The proposed small cell facility will be located in the public right-of-way where AT&T has a right to place its equipment
pursuant to California Public Utilities Code 7901. The project will involve the placement of a small antenna and associated small
cell equipment on a replacement utility pole. The facility will not obstruct pedestrian or vehicular traffic. It will not adversely
affect the surrounding properties and will have a minimal physical and aesthetic footprint in this area.
